In celebration of Asian Heritage Month, I’ve made a list of the best Asian movies you can watch for free online. With the recent release and success of “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Parasite”, Asian representation in movies is at an all-time high. The criteria used to make this list include:

The movie must be free to watch legally.
Movies produced in Asian countries
American movies are accepted if the majority of the cast members are of Asian descent.
Although major streaming websites (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Crave, etc.) have free trials and have a good number of Asian movies, they’re not counted.

There will be glaring omissions including the 2 movies already mentioned, simply because they’re not free or because I haven’t watched them.

Get your digital library card here, if you don’t already have one. You will need it to access Kanopy and Hoopla.

Note: To be honest I’m biased towards genre movies (sci-Fi, horror, action), whether or not it stands the test of time, and repetitive viewing.

#5 Ringu

Japanese | Horror | English Subtitles | Watch It On Kanopy | 97% on Rotten Tomatoes

“Ringu combines supernatural elements with anxieties about modern technology in a truly frightening and unnerving way.” – Rotten Tomatoes

[imdb style=”navy”]tt0178868[/imdb]

#4 Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Japanese | Animated, Sci-Fi | English Dubbed | Watch It On Tubi.tv | 96% on Rotten Tomatoes

“A stunning feat of modern animation, Ghost in the Shell offers a thoughtful, complex treat for anime fans, as well as a perfect introduction for viewers new to the medium.” – Rotten Tomatoes

#3 Train to Busan

Korean | Horror | English Subtitiles | Watch It On TubiTV | 94% on Rotten Tomatoes

“Train to Busan delivers a thrillingly unique — and purely entertaining — take on the zombie genre, with fully realized characters and plenty of social commentary to underscore the bursts of skillfully staged action.” – Rotten Tomatoes

#2 Battle Royale

Japanese | Sci-Fi, Action | English Subtitles | Watch It On Hoopla | 87% on Rotten Tomatoes

Before Hunger Games there was Battle Royale. I prefer the latter. “Battle Royale is a controversial and violent parable of adolescence, heightening teenage melodrama with life-or-death stakes.” -Rotten Tomatoes

#1 Seven Samurai

Japanese | Drama, Action | English Subtitles | Watch It On Kanopy | 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

“Arguably Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece, The Seven Samurai is an epic adventure classic with an engrossing story, memorable characters, and stunning action sequences that make it one of the most influential films ever made.” – Rotten Tomatoes
